Coolest Hangout Spot

Tucked off 98 towards the sound side, you’ll find the coolest hangout spot on the coast: The Gulf on Okaloosa Island. Expertly crafted food and drink await you along with a myriad of locations for you to sit and enjoy time with your friends and family. The Gulf has done a fantastic job creating an outdoor haven, complete with twinkly lights, private nooks for conversation and even comfy sofas on the sand to relax on. Since it’s all outside, the kids can run amuck while you ease back and chill.

Once you've had your fill, you can grab a drink at the bar and head over to the ping pong tables or go sit right on the beach. On Wednesday nights, they set up to play movies for the public, and when the moon is out in full, you can experience one of their Full Moon Parties after 9 pm where they offer live entertainment and campfire cooking.

So grab your favorite people of all ages and spend an evening at The Gulf!

Cool factors: Outdoor dining, movie nights, adult and kid-friendly!
